Use of present tense is absurd
17 February 2024
I just can't keep watching this silliness. The narrator's persistent use of the present tense for historical facts is so annoying that it has become intolerable. This habit is correct when documenting authors in a research paper but not when referring to events that happened long ago in the past. He also refers to current issues with present tense with no differentiation between the two. The errors are grievous, moreover, occurring in every episode. For instance (King Arthur, the one I'm currently watching), the Holy Grail wasn't so much a cup used at the Last Supper as a container to catch the blood of the crucified Christ. Each episode has its own collection of errors; that just isn't acceptable.
